VTECs
Hi,
Just interested in knowing what the difference is of older model VTECs and
newer models.
For example a 1990 Integra is a 1.8L VTEC and so is a 1998 Integra or 2001
Type R. Does this mean they perform the same? Are the exactly the same
engine? What differences do they have?
Thanks

No,they don't all have the same levels of performance.
Different cam profiles,pistons,compression ratios,different ECU
programs,different intake/exhaust systems.There's a lot of variables.
The "SAME" engine in any particular car can vary from country to
country,too.
Consider Japan Domestic Manufacture(JDM) engines vs US engines.

VTEC simply means Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control
Almost every or perhaps every Honda car engine made after 1997 had VTEC
technology. I'm sure that if I am wrong--someone will post a response that
has the correct information.
